SCARBOROUGH railway workers Steve Whitehead and Darren Morley have swapped the train tracks for mountain treks as they scale parts of the world’s largest mountain, Mount Everest, to raise money for homeless children. The duo are currently on their epic adventure which sees them trek 70 miles through some of the most adverse conditions in the world up to 18,000 feet above sea level in the Himalayas.
Darren, 46, who works as a train driver, added: “It is an unbelievable opportunity but we know how hard it will be. Steve and myself both compete in triathlons so are fit people, but it is the conditions that will be the real test, but we are very much looking forward to it.” Steve and Darren set off on March 14 for their adventure and are set to return back in England on March 30. n To find out how you can sponsor them and for some facts and figures on Mount Everest see page 6.
